Abstract

The free software concept implies the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve software. As part of the Brazilian government initiative, the Brazilian public software (BPS) portal proposes a model to share all of the software development artifacts produced by its public institutions. This paper describes the architecture and tools that are intended to deal with the semantic aspects of service sharing within the context of BPS. The architecture is based on the collaborative elaboration of domain reference ontologies, which can be used in the development of new services within the portal. Finally, a hypothetical scenario will be used to describe the architecture and tools.
